I have a theory.
It has always bothered me that BJ became so friendly with GW’s dad. My theory was to get an ally in ‘the family’ to go soft of BJ because ‘he is such a nice guy.’ I seem to recall a quote in a book I read about the early Ark days when a particular journalist was giving BJ a particularly bad time. Hirraly invited him to lunch one day, cozied up to him some way(threatened) and he eased off on them. Same strategy applies with BJ and 41.

Are you suggesting blackmail?
With this bunch, I think "whitemail" is a more likely possibility.
